Sure, phat beats play during the setup menus, but once again, it all goes down hill when you step on the court. The pre game pictures of the rappers are dead on, but once the game play starts, it is easy to confuse Chuck D with Warren G! It seems like the developers just decided to use 2 stock characters, the white guy and the black guy. If Everlast plays ball in real life like he does in this game, Ronald McDonald has a better chance of making it to the NBA! Graphically, it's a mixed bag. So if you picked Sticky Fingaz, you gotta play as Sticky Fingaz the WHOLE GAME! Just plain awful basketball. Players move like the are sliding around on ice, the jump shots have about as much arc as Shaq's free throws, and you can't even switch between defenders. Every player, man or woman, looks the same(except for the white guys). When the game starts though, you can't even distinguish Coolio, and his wild dreads, from Flavor Flav, with his huge alarm clock necklace. Coolio then gets to pick 2 teammates to help him on his ''Fantastic Voyage'' to the pros. For Championship mode, you can either pick a team of rappers, like Public Enemy, or a solo rapper, like Coolio. So if you were hoping to guide Warren G through a 10 year career, going from the LBC to the NBA, you are going to be unhappy, as Rap Jam doesn't sport the franchise option. Who's Onyx? Remember, they did that song "SLAM!" Anyway, you get 2 modes of play, Championship and challenge. There are also rappers from such groups as Naughty By Nature, Public Enemy, House of Pain (White Men CAN Jump!), and Onyx. No, you won't find 2 Pac and Snoop Dogg going head to head with Biggie Smalls and Puffy, but you will see DJ Lethal taking it strong to the hole against Queen Latifah! U-N-I-T-Y! Other rappers include L L Cool J, Coolio, and Warren G. That's right, it's rappers, doing what they do best, HOOPIN! Rap Jam features a bunch of semi-popular rappers. Well, in Rap Jam: Volume One, a big cast of mid 90's rappers take it to the court, and show you what they got. By PooponyourDog | Review Date: JanuSince the beginning of time, rappers have longed to wear the jersey of their favorite NBA team, go man to man against Michael Jordan, and dunk on 7'6'' softy Shawn Bradley.
